I really think my major aggravation is with the current seat and suspension post. Fixing this and adding a taller stem may get me to where I need to be. Many thanks for your suggestions, I've really appreciate the valuable input the BF folks have to offer!
For reference purpose: I find this setup very comfortable for commuting and getting around town. I used this specific bike for commuting into Heidelberg 35 km/RT for 3 1/2 years and for around town in Iowa for the last 4 years. The seat is a B66, handlebars are OEM. Tire size is 622 x 47. A very comfortable setup for allweather commuting without any fuss or mus, the same attributes you should get from the Breezer.
Just for info purposes, this Vaterland Bike was bought new for DM400 (approx. $200) from the local Opel automobile dealer in my village south of Heidelberg who also sold and repaired bicycles.
